Kevin Shattenkirk made his Anaheim Ducks debut on Thursday. Shattenkirk logged 23:55 minutes, which highlights just how much the Ducks are likely to lean on him this season. It was a huge jump from his average of 18:54 minutes in 2019-20 when he was a member of the Stanley Cup-winning Tampa Bay Lightning. As for Thursday’s game, the Ducks quickly fell behind 2-0, but stabilized somewhat in an eventual 5-2 loss to Vegas. “Our response in the first period was great, the way we just took a deep breath,” Shattenkirk said. “We realized it was the first game of the year, no exhibition games, there’s going to be some mistakes made and they capitalized on them, but we did the same thing to them.”
